Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
  • 1 to 1 1/4-pound tenderloin roast cut from the center of the whole tenderloin
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Combine kosher salt, black pepper, and cumin in a shallow dish. Roll roast in seasonings, coating well.

Preheat a cast iron grill pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, brush the roast with the olive oil, and sear on all sides, approximately 8 to 10 minutes total cooking time. Remove the roast to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Place the roast back onto the grill pan, put in the oven and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, wrap in foil, and allow to rest for 30 minutes before cutting.

    Alton must have learned this hanging out in Vermont... Searing first vs. high oven temp and then lowering doesn't seal in the juices like this recipe. Same process as Filet Mignon and the only way to go. And remember it's a sin to eat your meat anything but rare! Fantastic.

    Absolutely THE BEST way to prepare a tenderloin roast (or even eye of round if you want to save quite a few dollars. It is a little tricky extrapolating this recipe to a larger tenderloin so be sure to rely on a good meat thermometer!

    This was delicious. My roast was about 2.5 lbs so I had to cook it longer. I also added garlic powder. The meat was beautiful. Consistent color right up to the edge. I always wondered how restaurants get that beautiful temperature throughout. Now I know. Thermometer was the key. Watch it closely. It goes from 110 to 135 degrees fast. I would highly recommend.
